I’m tired of the Enzo hate.

Now I’m going to preface this with, yes, his attitude needs some work, particularly in moments of frustration. This, however, does NOT take away from his technical skill nor is it a fair comparison to the level in which he plays. He played in the top flight in Argentina and is accustomed to far better officiating and I think everyone in this sub can agree the refs in our league are dogshit.

During his time at Racing Club, he has 40 appearances with 20+ goal contributions (19 of which were goals) and this is in a superior league to ours. This should show what he is capable of when he has a competent team behind him.

When you look at his numbers at CLTFC, he has 23 appearances with 7 goal contributions. This subreddit has been an echo chamber of “why do we keep signing washed up 35yo mid fielders” and if this doesn’t speak to maybe a reason why we haven’t been able to fully grasp his potential, I don’t know what is.

I truly believe if we make the right moves this off-season we could get more out of him. This would probably require selling Karol (which I think everyone expects) but we should also either sell Joz, or rework his contract so he doesn’t fill a DP spot so we can sign 2 players to help control the mid as well as help feed the ball to Enzo.

I believe in the Argentine and I don’t think we need to tear him down because of his “attitude”.

tl;dr Argentinian not bad.
